Where is Germany today on the world political map?
Hello friends. After Germany lost the battle in World War II, the country turned into a pie, divided among the four major countries in the Allied Powers. Britain, France, and the United States controlled western Germany. And then established the Federal Republic of Germany, in 1949. The Soviet Union controlled East Germany, and established the German Democratic Republic (in 1949).
In addition, a large part of the Eastern territory was divided among Poland, and today it belongs to Poland. This region covers an area of about 114 thousand km². It is estimated that more than 7,000,000 Germans, 8-9 % of the population, were killed. Most of them are men and are of working age. Much of the country is a ruin, and faces an incredibly bleak future.
After more than four decades of division, Germany was reunited in 1990, with East Germany merging with West Germany. It is officially back as an independent, sovereign country. As for history, we'll take the time to talk in another video. And now, we will find out: Germany today is big or small, strong or weak.
First, in terms of area, Germany ranks 7th in Europe, with about 357,386 km², roughly equal to Japan. The current population is about 83.7 million people, the largest in Europe. Excluding the Russian people, both Europe and Asia. Berlin is the largest city in Germany, the second largest in Europe and only after London. It is also one of the 16 states of Germany.
In terms of economy, Germany is currently the reigning European champion, including Russia. In 2019, they had a nominal GDP of about $3.863 billion. In which, the service sector accounted for 62.3%. And industry accounted for 26.8%. The rest are other industries. GDP by purchasing power is equivalent to about $4,659 billion. Per capita income is about 54,984 dollars.
Germany is a manufacturing economy and the third largest country in the world, in terms of exports. With 1486 billion USD. The main export items in 2019, including: Firstly, machinery, including computers, accounted for 17.5% of total export turnover. Second, means of transport accounted for 16.4%. The third is machinery and electrical equipment, accounting for 10.7%. The rest are other industries.

Switzerland accounted for 4.1%. The rest are other countries. In addition, Germany is also the venue for the world's leading trade fair. About two-thirds of the trade fairs, take place in Germany.
In some cities such as Hanover, Frankfurt, Cologne, Leipzig and Dusseldorf. However, there is one thing that is not good in Germany, which is the high unemployment rate. With 5.6% as of June 2022. In terms of overall military strength, Germany ranks 13th, behind Italy and ahead of Iran. This is a ranking, which is considered to be quite perfect. Germany's total defense spending budget in 2020 is about 50 billion USD, ranking 6th in the world. .
